AT WINCHESTER ARMORY.

The Hotchkfss Gun-AddInS Much New Machfnery-BuiIdfng New
 Assembly Room.
 The Winchester Arms company have re- gently put into the factory and are now run ming large amount of new machinery for the manufacture of cartridges for the famous Hotchkiss guns which they have been mak- ing. This firm recently received contract for making the cartridges and the work will be begun at once. Brass cartridges 37, AT and 57 millimetres in calibre will be made which is about two inches in diameter. A large new assembly room is also being built over the old one for the new shotgun made by the company. The factory is running on full time and prospects are good. There is some talk that the company will secure the contract for making.the Hotchkiss rapid firing cannon and ammunition.
 The government has just effected a con- tract which will result, says Washington dispatch, in the establishment of a branch manufactory for Rotchkiss ordnance in this country, American machinery being superior to foreign, which will enable the guns to be made as cheaply here as abroad. The six pounder rapid-fre Hotchkiss gun requires but one man to control it, is fired from the shoulder and discharges twenty three shells per minute with velocity sufficient for the penetration of a two-inch steel plate 1000 yards distant. These guns are especially serviceable against torpedo boats, unarmored ships, and in clearing the exposed decks of ironclads.

 killed the one on the cellar steps. He then went into ths cellar to reconnoiter and on the stone floor by the side of cider barrel found another rattlesnake.

 nearly opposite Port Huron, Michigan, from the schooner Marsh. This is the vessel to which it is thought McGarigle was transferred at Mackinaw couple of days ago from the schooner Blake. The information received by the sheriff was very meagre.
 SARNIA, Ont, July 31.-Boodler McGar- igle, of Chicago, landed here this morning from the schooner Ed. Blake. The Blake and Marsh were in the same tow and while in American waters the tug OrioIe with de- tectives on board steamed up to the Marsh apparently with the intention of having them drop the tow line. After a short conversa- tion the line was let go, but at the instant Yawl left the schooner with McGarigle and quickly rowed for the Canada side landing at Point Edwards. McGarigle drove at once to Courtright, twelve miller down the river, ostensibly to catch boat. He was, how ever, driven back and is now here It is believed that he is nervous over his safety in Canada as he keeps away from the river, fearing attempts at Kidnapping.
